Summary

South Shores/CSUDH Visual and Performing Arts is a K–5 elementary school in San Pedro, California, with 407 students. It ranks above most nearby schools overall, but its results differ considerably by grade: third grade is especially strong, while fifth-grade ELA is just below the state average. The clearest takeaway is that math is the school’s strongest current subject, especially compared with the state and district.

In 2025–26, 60% of students were proficient in math, 22 points above the state and 20 points above Los Angeles Unified; the school also scored 5 points above the nearby-school average. ELA proficiency was 62%, 13 points above the state and 14 points above the district, and 7 points above the nearby average. Science is the clearest relative weakness: 36% proficiency was essentially level with the state, but 7 points below the nearby-school average, placing the school eighth among 11 schools. Grade-level results add important context: third-grade math reached 89%, while fifth-grade ELA was 49%, just below the state’s 49%.

Math has climbed steadily, from 49% proficiency in 2022–23 to 60% in 2025–26, while ELA declined 2 points overall across those years and science fell from its 2024–25 peak. SchoolDigger rates the school 4 stars and places it at the 74th statewide percentile, fifth among the 11 nearby schools when tied leaders are counted separately. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.6, the highest reported among those schools. The school reported 49% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the third-lowest share in the comparison group. SchoolDigger’s comparative ranking for White students dropped from the 91st percentile in 2024–25 to the 65th in 2025–26; for Special Education Students, its 2024–25 ranking was at the 96th percentile.
